Mike Maihack is the cartoonist of
Cleopatra in Space, a science-fiction adventure story. It started as a webcomic and is now published by Scholastic's Graphix. I first saw some examples of his art on his
deviantart site. I bought a few things from his
Operation Space Cat store. When the American Library Association Annual Conference was in San Francisco in 2015, I got the chance to meet Mike in person. I saw him at the San Mateo Library in 2018. The sixth and final
Cleopatra was published in 2020.
Cleopatra in Space is available as an animated series from the
Peacock streaming service. One can see the
official trailer on YouTube.
In October 2022, Mike drew a #SuperBatober piece with watercolor every day. Auctions ran on the
mikemaihack eBay store and on
Mike Maihack Patreon. This piece was offered on Mike’s Patreon.
